Are there statistics available for the amount of time the ball has been in play on a game by game basis?

In terms of 'hard men' in football, there's none. In terms of physicality, football has more in common with non-contact sports than it does with genuine contact / collision sports. The limited skirmishes which occur only happen in the knowledge that there's a referee at hand to split them up...

I watch plenty football, CL included, using a bunch of apps and streaming devices. I suspect I'm one of many guys doing exactly this in growing numbers who aren't included in the viewing figures. Doing it this way is easy and free now, and the quality and coverage is getting better am the...
